Blood Oaths & Broken Wars by MacKenzieMercado1
22 parts Complete
The war was going badly. Hope wore thin, worn down by funerals and betrayals. And Hermione Granger was tired of watching the people she loved die. So she turned to something older than wand magic. Something forbidden. Buried in the bowels of the Black Family Library, there it was: Vinculum Sanguinis. Blood magic-raw, binding, and irreversible. She wasn't summoning a spirit. She was summoning a soul. Regulus Arcturus Black: traitor to Voldemort, presumed dead, drowned by his own mission. The ritual was agony. It called for a drop of her blood, a binding vow, and a name spoken with intent. She gave more than a drop. When the circle of runes lit up with searing gold, and the air crackled like a storm breaking, Regulus appeared-naked, furious, and alive. "You called me," he said. His voice was low and sharp, like a blade drawn in the dark. Hermione collapsed, the toll of the ritual stealing her breath. "We're bound. Soul to soul. You're mine now." His eyes-those same steel-gray Black eyes-narrowed. "And you are mine." Regulus learned quickly. He was colder than Sirius, quieter. But once he understood what had become of the world-what Voldemort had turned into-he didn't hesitate. "We end this," he told her one night. "Not for the Order. Not for Potter. For family." He moved through the shadows. Undetected. Whispers of a third side rose. The war paused. Every living Black turned to him. Even the cursed ones. Even Draco. He didn't speak. He didn't need to. His presence said enough. They followed. He wasn't there for sides. He was there for blood. And anyone threatening Hermione Granger was already marked for death.

The Sacred 28 families are some of the most powerful wizarding lines in the world, and their purity is guarded carefully. Many a pureblood has been forced to marry for blood rather than for love, but no one takes it quite as seriously as the last of the original sacred families. They marry for status, not for love. Never for love. With the families dying out and the old traditions fading into distant memory, it's never been more paramount for the Sacred families to make powerful matches for their children. Preserving the pureblood lines and the magic that runs through them is of the utmost importance. The Black Family Dynasty is more than familiar with the traditional customs, and no one has arranged a more powerful match than Walburga and Orion Black. A Gaunt and a Black. An inconceivably powerful alliance, two of the most prominent family lines in wizarding history, finally connected. Their son, their heir, matched with a Gaunt? They couldn't be happier. Magdelyna Merope Gaunt, the daughter of Morfin Gaunt and the cousin of Tom Marvolo Riddle himself. She could never refuse such a match- no good pureblooded girl would ever dare to turn away a member of the House of Black. And with her family nearly eradicated, she has no choice but to marry. Who better than Regulus Black? The only complication? The wizarding world is teetering on the edge of a war, and Regulus is right in the middle of it. When a prophecy complicates matters, Regulus and Magdelyna have to work together to stay alive, caught up in a game that neither fully understands. A game that stretches through time, that defies the laws of life and death. When the side of good isn't completely good and the side of evil isn't completely evil, they have to find a middle ground. --- {1978-1998} Regulus Black x OFC MATURE BOOK!

Lily struggled as she moved up the stairs. Her husband James screamed, "Lily take Harry and run. He is here! I will fight him off." James turned and said, "I am sorry Angie." He whispered to himself. He cut himself and said some ancient words in Latin, "O death, have mercy on my blood adopted son's soul and take my sacrifice to save his. Keep my son and god children from harm as long as I am on the mortal plane and keep them from true harm. So mote it be." Someone burst in the door and said, "Avada Kedavra." The next second James fell from the floor. The figure moved up the stairs and went and said, "Stand aside girl." Lily screamed, "No. I will not." "Stand aside, girl." "Never, take me instead." "STAND ASIDE!" "NO!" "Very Well. Avada Kedavra." "I am sorry little one, It hurts worse when you are left alone. Dumbledore would use you to his own game. I hope you forgive me one day." The little guy surprised him as he whispered in snake tongue, " I know. Harry is sorry. Dumble bad." He smiled at him like a child greeting his favorite uncle and not the murderer of his parents. "You are a remarkable child." He said with a small smile. "I am sorry little speaker." He points his wand at him. "Avada Kedavra." That is where it all went wrong, the spell backfired, Voldemort vanished, people celebrated, and Dumbledore did some dastardly things on a little boy after he was dropped off at the Dursleys and McGonagall and Hagrid left. The first chapter starts at the summer before 3rd year. The cover photo is Angie that James referred to who is named Agatha Black. The question is how she and the Original family are tied into the story. Read and find out in Klaus' family and Hades' Hope.

"I face death in the hope that when you meet your match, you will be mortal once more?" She read from the small piece of parchment, the sound of the light flickering filling the intense silence. "Isn't it a bit dramatic?" "I'm a Black, what did you expect?" Regulus smirks. "I'm taking your silence as a yes?" She sighed, "Can't believe i'll be spending my early twenties hunting soul pieces and taking care of a baby that isn't mine." The war is just starting all over again, someone had to something about the odd way the darkest wizard of all time suddenly took over their world. 🩵Also in ao3 by auromich, i really do insist of reading it there so you can see the tags and warnings for the story🩵
